Get Free Mailing Lists From Federal And State
Governments!by Daren Greenwade

If you want to make money in the mailing list business, you should contact the
state and federal government for sources of lists. What's available? You
wouldn't believe it!

From many states you can get lists of licensed attorneys, accountants, real
estate agents, veterinarians, barbers, insurance companies, architects, nursing
homes, cosmetologists, social workers, dentist, librarians, psychologist,
manufacturers, licensed drivers, businesses, doctors, foreign corporations
registered in the state, and many others. There are even 28 states that allow
access to driver's license records!

When you're dealing with the government, expect to have to go through several
people to finally get to talk with someone knowledgeable about the lists that
are available.

This even more of a problem when dealing with the federal government. Again,
be persistent. If you believe a particular list is available from the government
don't take no for an answer when someone says there isn't such a list. Here's a
few sources to speed you on your way;

FSS Surplus Personal Property Zone. This is a list of people who have bought
auctioned government property from the federal government. It's broken down into
several files (regions). An example if region 8-10 consisting of 38,000 buyer
addresses. It's available on tape from the General Services Administration for
$50.

DOMESTIC MAIL MANUAL. 8,700 paid subscribers to the government's publication
on postal regulations. It's available from the government printing office.

CATALOG OF UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PUBLICATIONS subscriber list. 1400 paid
subscribers to this publication which lists monthly government publication. The
list is available from the Government Printing Office. Call or write for current
price and format.

BUSINESS AMERICA, INTERNATIONAL TRADE subscribers list of nearly 5,000 names
and address of people either in export related fields, or expressing an
interest. The list is available from the government printing office.

Again, these are just a few of the many, many lists available. Some are free.
Most carry a nominal charge. Be sure to specify printed directory, diskettes, or
tape format. It is also advisable to inquire and make sure the file you want has
the complete name, and address for it to be usable - many files may only have a
name and no address.
